HBK May go on the Shelf With Major Knee Injury
Another major blow to another major star in the WWE is being reported. Reports say that HBK - Shawn Michaels, has a "blow out knee," and the injury is considered serious in the inner circles of the WWE. Michaels, who has the last three or so months been in a major program with WWE Champion John Cena, is still going to try and work tonights match at Judgement Day with Randy Orton. That match, which was not one of the pushed matches on the show anyway, may now have angle that may work the injury in to get Michaels off of TV.
The injury comes at a time when the Michaels-HHH team of DX may have been in a flux anyway. There was no doubt that at first upon HHH's return in August that he would have been in some sort of singles program, but now, he may be in that program with no backup from HBK if he is out of action. The early word was that HHH would feud with Edge upon his return, but with Edge now the champion of SmackDown, the next logical opponent would be Randy Orton.
As for Shawn, his feud with John Cena was scheduled to pick up again soon, possibly setting up some sort of major stip match (60-minute Ironman has been talked about since their 60+ minute match on RAW in London) on a PPV - possibly SummerSlam. Now that may be on hold if the knee is not ready enough to get back in the ring
